If there was any doubt left about Mary's reason for happiness, let it be washed away tonight in the excessive saliva of her sloppy make out with this 'Peter' dude.
I [sarcasm]just can't wait[/sarcasm] to see what crazy evil subplot Willy has in store for good ol' Pete.

I'm waiting for someone to point out that Mary's on the verge of premarital sex here.
Bonus points if it's Joe.
I'm starting to feel like all of this was made simply to spit in the face of Carla/Mary shippers.
Anybody know if this guy is from Shortpacked? I feel an abortion story coming soon.
The password is "plottwist".
Take off your fucking glasses before kissing someone, Peter, Christ. Speaking from experience, that shit can hurt.
>Plot twist: known homophobic assmonger is actually friggin straight
So what... Willis actually believes the "people who don't like faggots are likely faggots themselves" thing? Or am I reading into it too much...
Is this the next slipshine?
I'm just going to leave Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.'s eight basics of creative writing here:
>Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
>Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
>Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
>Every sentence must do one of two things—reveal character or advance the action.
>Start as close to the end as possible.
>Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them—in order that the reader may see what they are made of.
>Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.
>Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To heck with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.
>once the truth has been revealed she goes back to being a judgy bint
Hahaha, haha, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAARGH!
My ex and I kissed while wearing glasses all the time
Pic Related; he wrote Carla as detesting the notion.
It is possible that I'm just flat-out terrible at kissing.
I can't hate on joyce.
also christ Willis can't draw kissing.
reposting from the last thread:
So I'd like to try and do something...a little ambitious, and something I doubt many of you are interested in participating in, but what the fuck.
With school starting for me soon, I'll once again have access to the Adobe suite, which means I'll be able to do more video editing...thus, I'd like to set on something ambitious: A Sup Forums narrated telling of Dumbing of Age, done with more effort than willis has ever given.
To that end, however, I'll need more than just my own, and therefore, I'd like to open it up to you guys. email me your auditions and the characters you're interested in.
What I'm looking for:
clear voices - I don't need sound booth quality, but ideally, minimal noise in the background, and a clear enough voice that what's being said can be made out.
decently long recordings - not a full paragraph, but a few lines so I can hear what you sound like
the ability to speak at full volume - this one is a bit weird, but I know most of these threads happen at 1 am EST, which means those of you with roommates/family may not be able to speak at full volume. However, whisper talking is VERY obvious.
recording software: vocaroo will NOT cut it. Audacity is free, and will more than suffice. just record and export the files as .wmv or .mp3.
What I do NOT need:
Genders to match - I'm quite fond of my own interpretation of Becky, and I gave her a deep, manly southern twang. have as much fun with the voices as you like
huge amounts of effort - Willis doesn't care about his comic...why should you? All I ask for is what I mentioned above.
perfect, professional level voices - none of us are professionals. go nuts.
>continued in my next post with what I'd kinda like to see, auditions-wise
if you're getting hurt from kissing someone with glasses you are both doing it entirely wrong
>experience
yeah ok buddy
Joyce - a soft-spoken, cute voice. M or F
Walky - nothing picky, ideally M
Dorothy - a more confident voice, ideally F
Billie - whatever you like...maybe a drunken slur?
Amber - I'm looking for a quiet voice that can also pull off full Bale batman...or if you have a better idea, go for it.
Danny - if you believe your voice is 'shit' and you've no confidence in it, this is the audition I want. male or female.
Sarah - the best STRONG SASSY BLACK WOMAN
Becky - if you think you can top my voice, go for it. male or female, I want to hear it.
Sal - the strongest accent I can hear, as long as it isn't tennessee. Male or female
Dina - not super picky on this one.
Ethan - I'd love to hear a feminine voice for the self-insert. Female or just cracked male.
Ruth - the strongest wisconsin/noofie accent you can give me. M or F
Joe - something bassey, or super feminine, sultry if you're a woman
Mike - whatever you'd like
Roz - not sure on this one...something valley-girl like?
Carla - this one, I'd really rather a female voice. I've not voiced her myself for that reason alone. Any sort of female voice is fine
Jacob - see Joe
Marcie - already cast.
Mary - condescending, uppity. M or F
Robin - another accent, preferably southern. doesn't need to be super strong. M or F
extras - send me whatever.
>One more thing - I also need you to have recording software. Vocaroo will not do for this. Audacity is free, and it's more than enough. When sending files, export them as .wmv or .mp3.
>Send all auditions to [email protected]
to the user that asked about "You want a nordic formula 1 driver sounding sal?" The answer is a resounding YES.
>mary doesn't want to fuck u carla!
Alright so Willis clearly saw the fanart Sup Forums drew
...
That explains it then. Forgive me, I find myself uninvested in this arc, unless it spawns a slipshine.
>And so introduce me to *these* guys.
Does Willis know what people sound like? Has he ever talked to a person?
Found him: walkypedia.wikia.com
>Peter Paul is a minor character in the Walkyverse, where he's associated with fan-favorite holy roller Mary Bradford.
>A doctor by profession, Peter met Mary after she graduated from college. The two seem to have hit it off very well, as Mary soon became pregnant (again), and the two eventually married.
>Peter made a brief appearance in It's Walky! when Sal Walkerton enlisted Mary's help in treating Jason Chesterfield for the injuries he'd sustained in his escape from the JFO's New York HQ. After successfully patching his patient up, Peter called the cops on the two of them.
>An older, now-divorced Peter later showed up again in Joyce and Walky!, where he was forced at gunpoint to transplant D.J. Wilcox's organs into Sal Walkerton's body to save her from the effects of Head Alien II's death ray. Guy can't seem to catch a break.
>In some alternate universe, Sal and Peter wound up having a child, who was later abducted and brainwashed by Head Alien II as part of his master plot to destroy Joyce and Walky.
Also of note:
>A DoA version of Peter Paul appeared as a background character in the second Patreon-only bonus strip for January 2015, and again in first panel of the strip "Pokeman". Whether he will play a larger role in the story remains to be seen.
Pic Related is "Pokeman". I don't have the Patreon bonus strips.
His name is Peter Paul because Willis is incapable of making a name just be a name with no "secret meaning" for many, many years.
www.walkypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Peter_Paul
He actually goes as far back as It's Wally where he was husband to a grown up, 'reformed' Mary
www.joyceandwalky.com/d/20030303.html
And he's even been in a DoA bonus strip. Pic related.
If he did he'd be less able to relate to his readers
> Carla violently unhappy
I'll donate to the Patreon as long as that remains a constant
I prefer to think of it as both Mary and Peter are so sexually/romantically inexperienced that they're super awkward/clumsy kissers.
youtube.com
At least, I HOPE that's the case.
Thanks; I was secretly .
So I guess this IS actually another case of Willis running out of ideas and just regurgitating relationships from Shortpacked all over again. Though that one user also said that Willis has been bringing back the ships only to tear them down.
I dunno. All I know is that it's all shit and I could be jacking off to better stories right now.
She can actually reference scripture, I'm almost impressed.
Too bad her interpretation of that line is counter to pretty much the bedrock of her entire religion.
The >a slipshine
I'd rather see shad draw it than another willis slipshine
for the love of christ get laid, the both of you pathetic fuckknuckle webcomic otaku
you can't even pull the "where do you think you are" card here
It's not our fault Willis' love of wikis extends to his own damn comics.
Like hell they can't.
Real talk, what kind of motivation or expense is involved in Shad depicting Joyce becoming a human toilet?
Interestingly enough, three verses later you get, "Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent."
A steep commission rate; you could easily get ten Joyce human toilet commissions for the price of a Shad commission, more if you don't care about shading or coloring. Of course, you'd still be a terrible person for doing so, as Joyce is for tender lovemaking and awkward dirty talk.
I'd much rather have Shad draw Carla/Mary porn, primarily because that's something more up his alley.
He'd probably draw some kind of porn of Child Sal, just for kicks.
Joyce is for being mindbroken into a street whore
I just hope Mary has enough cash saved up for her upcoming abortion.
>A steep commission rate
>Due to the explicit content of my work and the fact that I dont do commissions, my work can sometimes be difficult to monetize.
GOD DAMN IT
>He'd probably draw some kind of porn of Child Sal, just for kicks.
Trap Walky more than likely. Violent Ruth/Billie would also be something he'd be inclined to do.
You have no power here, Satan, and besides, that's more Roz's shtick. Or possibly Becky with Dina as her ruthless pimp girlfriend.
...
>clara
Probably. Multidimensional antagonists in MY comic? Oh ho ho, I'll show them... FUCK YOU MOM!
Walkypedia:
>A DoA version of Peter Paul appeared as a background character in the second Patreon-only bonus strip for January 2015, and again in first panel of the strip "Pokeman". Whether he will play a larger role in the story remains to be seen.
Literally, what is the point in doing character models if you don't keep to them?
>www.walkypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Peter_Paul
>Peter divorced Mary eventually in It's Walky
I know where this is going
D-delet :'^(
He's going to knock up Sal?
>I'm starting to feel like all of this was made simply to spit in the face of Carla/Mary shippers.
It's like Willis saw these threads and was insulted that scum would DARE ship his pure innocent transwaifu with a white Christian Nazi and had to make sure it would never happen.
Does every fucking character have to talk like they're "so quirky"? That shit is so exhausting to read. Can't at least one Willis character talk like a normal fucking person?
Ryan - Pete
Ray - Pete
Ray - Pist
I recognize thar pastor's son
Carla, don't stand for that shit!
>Carla pushes Peter out of the way
>C: Lemme show you how it's really done, dweeb!
>Carla embraces Mary and gives her a long passionate kiss. Mary is shocked at first but quickly gets way into it and starts feeling up Carla. She stands aroused and dumbstruck afterwards.
>C: *Mwah*, bitch! How's that for righteous?
>M: God damn!
>P: M-mary, that's blasphemous!
>M: You're still here? Beat it, dweeb! Carla's tongue is a fire, and I can't wait for it to defileth my body!
>C: You're not so bad yourself, M. Oh, here! Take your gum back..
That's our Dave! He makes more money with one Kickstarter than most of his readers will see within several years.
Pottery
His audience is not normal people, so no, I guess.
As a writer, that sickens and encourages me. If Willis can make it, why shouldn't I be able to?
I just realized the three assholes in the hallway are all wearing glasses. Is this some kind of trend bullshit?
>lustful thoughts and actions outside of the sanctity of marriage
"Verge" nothing that is straight up fornication.
What is up with the major break in the outline of Mary's mouth in panel #4? It looks horrible.
I HAB BRATHETH
>If Willis can make it, why shouldn't I be able to?
I share the feeling, but find comfort in thinking of all the reasons Willis is a poor writer, a shitty person, and a mental case.
The fact is while the comic is "popular" it's a webcomic, which is about half a step up from Deviantart shit as far as art goes, and anybody or critic looking for anything of substance would give it a pass regardless of political or social affiliation. If that's any comfort.
>all our Carla/Mary stories are now going to be NTR
I'm not sure how to process this.
>homophobic assmonger
>walking shitpile
I've seen way more of this comic than I ever wanted to thank to these threads but I've never seen Mary to be anything but slightly annoying at worst
Is Willis socially retarded or something? Why does he directly equate being overly pious with being an asshole? One should lead to the other, not be there in place of the other.
So how long before Carla is compelled to destroy Mary's relationship?
>So how long before Carla is compelled to destroy Mary's vagina?
ftfy
Esl rally femanon here, I tried to send something
>Is Willis socially retarded or something?
Yes, yes this is exactly it
>If Willis can make it, why shouldn't I be able to?
As another writer, I need to remind you that webcomics are like pyramid schemes; the most successful are those who got in on the groundfloor the earliest. The other key to his success is that no matter how mediocre his output is, he's consistent at releasing it.
It has dick to do with his acuity. He sees the world through a glass eye, his characters are cigar store indians and the art speaks for itself.
"Oh, so THAT'S what one of these is supposed to look like."
Uh, probably now already. It won't be long before the plotting starts.
That actually feels pretty likely.
Not those anons, but a quick search on the Walkypedia pulls stuff up immediately. It takes no time at all.
How long before Malaya dates Leslie?
Why is that one dude basically grinding up on Peter in panel 4? There is physical space in front of him, but he chose to stand as close as possible to Peter, and Peter is just copy-pasta'd behind him like nothing's wrong.
I wouldn't be surprised if that happened. Mary was being nice for no reason other than to create artificial suspense over whether she liked Carla or not. That niceness stopped instantly for absolutely no reason once the reveal was made and she's now condemning people to hell after singing "everything is beautiful in god's creation" to them. So obviously her behaviour state is just a device for other people to get motivations from, not a consistent thing. Therefore, this renewed meanness is probably a motivation for someone to fuck with her, Peter, or their relationship.
God this strip is shitty.
Ugh, you're so right. In Willis Land, people don't exist when they're off-screen, and their attitudes, personality, and behavior depend upon whatever the plot requires.
auditions are coming in, I've sent out emails for roles I especially liked.
Reminder, there's still LOTS of open slots.
also still not sure if Dewd should be allowed near the project, even if I did like his Joe.
>Willis shitting on Peter, Paul and Mary, even by proxy.
Which means Carla really wants to. Maybe righteous man will catch Carla going to town on Mary and freak.
He's a pussy.
Wonder how he psycho-phants would respond to an asshole fundie muslim character being shit on by the whole cast, since religions that condemn homos and such are so awful.
Actually, forget wondering, I know how the retards would react.
It's pretty clear you just don't know how to read at all.
Don't be a cunt, Willis, I'd forgotten the earlier strip where Carla shits on the cliche and interpreted her words here as sarcasm.
>captcha: Willis Milano
Whump whump whump...WHUMP.
Incoming bit where Mary is impregnated by Carla.
I just love the music group so him using their namesakes in his comic as villains just makes me pissed.
He can't stop me from shipping lesbians instead of heteros!
Memes aside, is Carla even into girls?
There are not human beings like this, but I'm pretty sure Willis believes there are.
In my time among the fandom I've determined that, yes, Willy and his readers do indeed think Toedad, Mary, Ryan, etc are highly realistic representations of people.
Because they flat out told me "Omfg you white cis shitlord how dare you say these arent realistic portrayals of these kinds of people"
No, she's poking fun at the people who say "people who don't like faggots are likely faggots themselves".
Don't forget that David himself (presumably) hated the gays in the past. So there's no way he'd believe it himself.
Where do you think you are?
Someone on Sup Forums? Bad at kissing? Even Willis couldn't have written that plot twist.
>He pays enough attention to the comic to know how the characters are actually named.
You know what I find endlessly entertaining about Willis? The fact that he's so defensive and insecure that by pushing a headcanon about his characters hard enough you can actually make him draw strips just to refute the idea.
Carla's asexual, which conveniently means Willis never has to draw tranny porn.
He has apergers.
As much as I agree with you on that, she was already asexual previously, when she was a car in the form of a human. The sexualities carry over.
Damn, I keep getting static in my recordings and can't figure out why.
Also, do you have a list of slots still open?
pretty much everything.
I've basically cast Dorothy, Joe(tenuous), Amber, Roz, and Sal though.
A bit of static is fine.
Don't forget Robin! I'm looking forward to that one, honestly.
right, sorry.
I'll update the copypasta in the next thread assuming the thread dies.
So far I'm looking to start at page 1,
and do the uncasted voices myself to cover gaps.
also, does anyone want to hear Dewd's auditions? I sent girlanon his Amber.
That's the thing, innit? There are people who act like them, just like there are people who get sexually aroused by walls, cars... or tiles. But if you were to write someone with an interest in tiles, your readers would say that that is fucking retarded, that can't be real, etc.
In Schindler's List, they had to tone down the actions of what the Nazis actually did because audiences thought the historical actions of the Nazi characters was over the top and impossible to accept. In the long long ago, on one of the other forums I'm on, there was a discussion about some TV or movie and it was getting ripped to shreds because the villains were cartoonishly evil, nobody would act like that in real life, etc. A few months later, ISIL started making more and more headlines. Slavery, rape, outlandish and grotesque executions, etc. Everything that was supposedly so cartoonish and impossible.
So by one determination, Willis's villains are realistic. Not "highly", mind you. Just realistic, because there will be some people who will go to the extremes.
But the thing is... those extremes are the only villains we see in DoA. There's no room for nuance. DoA villains are all around Bad People with as much depth as a cardboard standee. I could go on and in more depth about this mindset, but I'm coming up on the character limit, so I'll just truncate the rest of my spiel with this: Willis has said he writes for his audience. He's not interested in nuance or effort. He wants the people who disagree with him to be monsters. His audience wants the people who disagree with them to be monsters. They both want to see the monsters get beaten over and over without any effort whatsoever, so that's what they'll get. It's why Mary, despite never accomplishing anything, can get insulted and assaulted without repercussions. She's the monster. She's only there to be wrong, humiliated and abused. That's what Willis wants to write and that's what his fans want to read.
Just sent you a sample, not really an audition though.
If it's true that this is in response to the Mary/Carla headcanons, then it leads me to wonder... what other directions could we take DoA with new headcanons that he'd have to disprove?
I think as people were saying above, we need to push the idea he made Carla asexual because he finds the idea of naked trannies disturbing and doesn't want to draw a slipshine. Force Willy to draw tranny porn.
I think something that should be noted is that DoA is first and foremost a melodrama, not a realistic drama or SoL. It's a universe where dads kidnap their daughter's boyfriends, moms abandon their children to nail strangers in the utility closet, and people hatch convoluted and indirect plans rather than talking to others.
Hey don't worry man, I'm not gonna try and mess with anything, just wanna have fun with this little project.
That's a good point. Soap operas thrive on melodrama and have ridiculous and insane plots all the time. However, this universe was touted by Willis as a realistic one. I think half or more of the complaints about the plotlines come from that disconnect. You can have over-the-top car chases, vigilantes leaping up building walls and teleporting RAs or you can have a realistic, grounded universe but claiming to have the latter while using the former... like I said, there's a disconnect there.
>So, you want a realistic, down-to-earth show... that's completely off-the-wall and swarming with magic robots?
